It's A Process, Maybe Next Time Edition

This is the first dog portrait I've ever done. Some friends wanted a portrait of their dog, so I was happy to paint it for them. I had fun painting this. It's definitely not the last dog painting I will paint.

Impressions

I painted this on a pretty big wooden canvas I built. I did it with a palette knife, which I liked using. It's a nice break from brushes. They are also easier to clean too. What I don't like is how much paint I had to use/waste. It's hard to see the detail I did with the palette knives in a picture. It's better to view it in person.

This is my second attempt at becoming an impressionist...well not really. It's just my second painting in the genre. The first one I did I'm too embarrassed to post or show people.
